2 FRANKLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 FRANKLIN CLOSE sales from May 2005 and September 2016 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the May 2005 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 2 FRANKLIN CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 24.1%, between September 2016 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Dacorum local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 24.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 FRANKLIN CLOSE of £606,000 on 7th September 2016. For the value to have increased from £606,000 to £752,171 over the seven years and nine months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 FRANKLIN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dacorum local authority area.
